Well, today thru the weekend I'll be finishing up a wool skirt, hopefully starting to sew on a wool jumper I've had cut out for a week, finishing curtains for 10 windows I started 2 months ago but have yet to finish and so close too. Also putting a quilt onto the frame to get started quilting. Just finished the quilting layout and tweaking the patterns to fit. Had to make some adjustments. Got the quilt top all marked and ready to go. Then there is trying to work/finish a pillow and bag for a little 18 month old boy to give in the new year. Using up scraps from his quilt he received last year. Found more than I thought I had on hand plus a couple orphan blocks so incorporating them into the pillow. Think I've got myself busy for the next 3 days.

I've been trying to sew some each day. Only a few tote bags to finish for the soup kitchen, out of salvaged upholstery samples; and trying to finish a fabric angel for the door of our temporary apartment, but her dress got packed somewhere other than with the rest if her so she needs a patchwork gown. DH knows his annual flannel nightshirt will have to wait until after the move.

I have finished all my Christmas gifts, but have some odds and ends I want to do. Sylvia is calling too! (Sylvia's Bridal Quilt). May start a new quilt that is a graduation gift. Fun to know I am not alone quilting.

I do have a table runner to make for my sister for her Christmas present. We do have to finish the shopping (my ds has not given us a list yet) but dh loves to shop so that is what he will be doing on Sunday. I have to go help my sister clean my mother's house tomorrow so the runner will have to wait until Sunday. Maybe tonight I can do some hand quilting on my niece's wedding quilt. I was going to try to finish is it to give it to her on Christmas Eve but she and her new husband will not be there this year. I also have to finish a pair of finger gloves that turn into mittens for my dh for Christmas. I spent this morning grocery shopping and some of this afternoon making cookie dough.
